He said the extra cost is because the two rides (fantastic and tornado) are not owed by the guy who owns the place. So to keep profits separate from the other rides tickets are sold for those rides.<br /><br />nice blog btw. I was looking to learn more about Amarillo.

It's expensive so we don't go often but once you pay you pay for all the rides. Seems silly any other way. <BR/><BR/>My post is up.preTzelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03536465579225240434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9174721864572618040.post-6536648890997568002009-03-30T15:47:00.000-05:002009-03-30T15:47:00.000-05:00Travis-I always LOVE coming over here. one of the...Travis-I always LOVE coming over here. <BR/><BR/>one of these days, when I have my act together, I will join you all.Vodka Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04734323418017847775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9174721864572618040.post-18212553250610310522009-03-30T13:53:00.000-05:002009-03-30T13:53:00.000-05:00I got my 1st job at Wonderland Park when I was 14....I got my 1st job at Wonderland Park when I was 14.

There was one in Albuquerque when I was a kid, and my grandmother used to reward me with an afternoon of fun at Kiddieland for being a good little girl at the dentist. I think it's gone now, or at least it's now incorporated into Cliff's Amusement Park, as it is located in the same place and still has an area called Kiddieland. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the memories.Being Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17257332079795227626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9174721864572618040.post-11340919085293229112009-03-30T09:03:00.000-05:002009-03-30T09:03:00.000-05:00I'm agreement.
